There are many recurrent themes on SR. In fact, really most of what we confront is simply a variation on the same theme. So the feedback we see posted in response is always helpful.
Please, though, take a moment to look at the dates posts were made. This thread is more than five years old.
Posting in current threads is likely to have greater impact, both for those who respond as well as the original poster.
That said, welcome to SR, Wrenbird. This is a place of great hope and support.
